Can Saturday telly ...

[Nick W]

That's not very diverse... What about the half caste ginger kid that no one mentions...

Married an actress and moved to California?

[Doctor Gollum]

Oh yes

[Mr Skrunts]

I just watched a a film about nature that I recorded yesterday. . . . Sharon Stone was in it

One new series starting on Tuesday I believe which I actually enjoy watching The Yorkshire Vet, really envy folk who are fortunate enough to live in that area of the country , yes I do realise that the thread was about Saturday TV but I believe like most that it is total rubbish.

Don't be envious of living up there, around boroughbridge and thirsk. They are pleasant enough, but the whole area is rammed between May and September. Strangers wandering around and traffic jams would put me right off. Supermarkets rip you off because they are few and far between, same with fuel.
Folk also mistake everyone for a country bumpkin, who've retired up their and don't really mind in you park in their garage 

[Doctor Gollum]

I would have to watch telly to have an opinion of it

I lived near Thirsk for two years and it was very pleasant, but the coldest winters I've ever encountered, including the North of Scotland. It was the winds that cut across the North Yorkshire plain. Nice beer there as well.

We have got hooked on The Yorkshire Vet. Waiting for the new series of Our Yorkshire Farm on Tuesday night. I really admire that family, the no nonsense bringing up of their kids, how they all work together to keep the farm. And what a glorious area to live. Envy

[TheBoy]

It is so bad that I use whatever TV time I have to catch up on history channels like PBS America (CH91) and Yesterday (CH25).

Really good they are but as for the main channels, I agree they are almost unwatchable.

Can't be dealing with the American channels, as they are made for people even more thick that the average British viewer, so take dumbing down to way beyond BBC levels.

Plus, been for the Sherman market with ad breaks every 10 minutes, nothing is actually learnt in an hour long programme, as every 6 minutes, we have to have a recap of the pre ad section, and then look forward to what will be later in the programme. By the time that recap is complete, its time for another ad break, and the whole thing repeats.

The Nazi Channel (Yesterday) has good, if dumbed down, programmes. But there are limits to how many times I can watch about the abandoned Goat Canyon Trestle bridge...

Thanks TB!

Actually PBS America often show documentaries made by the likes of the BBC, and those produced by American broadcasters can be very good, but of course, like with watching British TV, you do have to be selective.

Yesterday does more than show documentaries like Abandoned Engineering, with at the moment a new series showing, broadcasting a whole range of history based productions often by great producers.

But yes, so many of the other American channels are best missed.

We had Sleet this morning when we left Lincolnshire, and about two hours ago here in Surrey had the same , crazy weather.
